With the intensification of the population aging process,the needs of the elderly are getting more and more attention.At present,there are a variety of products which target on the aged in the market,and designers are gradually beginning to pay more attention to the needs of the elderly.However,the elderly product market at present is mixed,and some products are only under the banner of designing for the elderly,but they have not been able to dig deeply into the needs of elderly users and solve the problems encountered by the elderly.Due to the decline of physiological functions,the elderly often need to face great difficulties in the process of sitting up.Some need to use the strength of other parts of the body to compensate,and some need to search help from the external reference to complete the sit-up process.The toilet is one of the places where the elderly appear more frequently in one day,and it is also one of the main places where the elderly are at risk of slip.Therefore,the problem of the elderly sitting up on the toilet urgently needs attention.Based on user behavior analysis methods,this article combines literature research,interview method,and experimental observation method to study the problems of elderly people's use of toilets,the difficulty of sitting up on toilets,and behavioral characteristics,in-depth mining of user needs and conversion into product function lists,Thus,a multifunctional elderly assisted toilet seat design is carried out.First of all,the research of the products for the elderly help products was conducted,in order to understand the current problems of the elderly help product market and the common research methods for such problems,and conduct research on the help products,sort out the current product categories on the market.At the same time,combined with the concept of user behavior and its research methods,sort out the product design process of helping the elderly.Provide ideas for subsequent design.Secondly,combined with the user behavior analysis method,summarizing the physical and psychological characteristics of the elderly through the literature method,and then performing in-depth analysis based on the pain points found in the user interviews,mining user needs,and sorting out the user needs list.Combining motion capture devices and wearable physiological recording systems to perform sit-up movement feature observation experiments,provide data support for structural design and sizing of human-machine equipment,and convert the survey results into a function list,based on which to design and practice.Finally,based on the results of user behavior analysis,the design and development work of the elderly assisted toilet aids was carried out.According to the product structure and function list,the function realization ideas were refined,the function layout and the human-computer interaction process were planned,and finally the sketch drawing and 3D modeling were carried out.And complete the effect display.Based on user behavior analysis,this article develops a user-centered design idea,combined with interviews and experimental analysis,so that users can express their needs completely,and sum up the design elements of functions,man-machine,structure,etc.,and finally complete the product.design.
